Open the box by Beerman

[raw]
made by Beerman for LD27 (COMPO)
More of an LD12 than an LD48, I started work on this around lunchtime on Sunday. Should run on anything with java >1.6 installed, android build coming soon.

Press space to open the boxes and win prizes. Beat the target to make it to the next level.

A game with a bit of lottery and very addictive for me. I like the presentation. Cool game.

Simple, yet addicting game. Mashing the spacebar worked for the first levels, but didn't really help me on the later ones. I like it. :)

Cute simple idea, well executed, love the look and feel of it, could see it doing well on phones. Gameplay got a bit samey for me after a while but it is what it is. Nice one.

Interesting idea but too repetitive for me. Nice music though!

Great fun! Love the mix of retro 2D fonts and 3D models. Didn't find it too challenging but stopped after t6he first 6 or 7 levels... does it get harder?

It does slowly get a little harder - I didn't have a huge amount of time to balance the difficulty properly though so if you get a lucky run of kittens and multipliers it can be a few levels before your score starts drifting close to the target again.

Nice idea, but I wish there was something added to give it more depth and maybe make it less dependent on randomness.

It's simple interpretation of theme, but I like it. Also both music and graphics are good.

Countdown music is interesting, gameplay a little repetitive and random, but fun :)

Not predictable, but tasty! I mean, funny.

Got bored after 2100 and getting several Kittens in a row, and then failed when opening all the boxes. Maybe I'm doing something wrong - not drinking beer before playing, to be exact.

Good audio.

Cute game. A lot more fun than all those "time your clicking/button pressing right" games. A bit too random though. I lost a level in spite of opening all the boxes.
